Can someone explain the uk education system and highschools?

I need it for a school work about education I am doing in sociology class. I don't understand it and I really need to, especifically to understand high school studies.

I'll tell you how it works where I come from:

6yr-12yr - Grade 1-6 - Elementary School

12yr-15yr - Grade 7-9 - Middle School

15yr-18yr - Grade 10-12 - Highschool

In highschool you have study units for each subject and the maximum of units you have in a subject is five (apart from some rare cases), the make your graduate diploma and you need a minimum amount of 21 units overall to get a highschool diploma.

There is English and Math when you have to do at least three units but you can do up to five. There is Literature, History, Hebrew, Bible and Citizenship where you have to do only two but you can also do up to five. And there are other subjects you can do between 3-5 in but they vary between school and you are not obligated to do them.

Now, you have to have at least one subject with five units that is can't be English or Math from one of the other subject I mentioned or the ones that vary. And why did I explain all of this? For you to understand what I want from you and tell me if it's any similar to this or completely different and why?

Thanks in advance so much!!!
